Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of obstructing his plans to revive the Webuye Panpaper when he was the Prime Minister in the last government.
While addressing the Western Region ODM delegates in Kakamega county on Friday,the leader said that despite having good plans for the factory during his tenure in the Grand Coalition Government, President Kenyatta who was the Finance Minister then did not approve the plan.
''President Kenyatta is falsely accusing me of doing nothing to bring the factory back to its feet when i was in office yet he was the reason for the same.We had plans to revive the factory but he as the finance minister rejected the proposal to revive the plant,'' said Odinga.
The president while in while presiding over Kibabii University graduation ceremony in Bungoma on Thursday accused the Orange Party leader of not even setting foot in the troubled factory throughout his tenure.
However,the former Premier has come out to clear his name on the accusations.
Raila also reacted to the President's earlier accusations that he is opposing and politicizing everything including sensitive projects saying that he is only doing his job.
''My job as the opposition leader is to correct the government,the President is my younger brother and i will keep on correcting him when he heads the wrong way.On the other hand,i will congratulate him when he does the right thing.''He said
Apart from the President,Mr Raila has in the recent past found himself on the receiving end from Jubilee leaders including Deputy President William Ruto who are accusing him of being against all projects initiated by the government for the benefit of the people.
